Several of those involved in the Veterans Administration's study of how service dogs can be used to help treat veterans appealed on Thursday to members of Congress to expand the program.
The House Military Veterans Caucus heard from members of Canine Companions for Independence as well as a veteran and his personal service dog on the benefits of specially trained service dogs. The group was invited to Capitol Hill by Rep. Mike Thompson (D., Calif.), who supports the pilot program. He said service dogs provide a tremendous benefit to many veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
